Matt and Cameron Fradd Go on a Date (and You're Third-Wheeling) | Ep. 537

Episode replay from the first season. Today's guest is Fr. Paul Scalia, the Vicar General of the Diocese of Arlington. Fr. Scalia shares his testimony and a bit about growing up with his father, Antonin Scalia. He talks about his calling into the priesthood and what it's like to be a priest for such a young diocese. We discuss the state of men today and how in today's society, men have been deprived of heroes and the role of providing and protecting. Additionally, we talk about the need for fraternity, specifically in seminaries and the priesthood, and for fatherhood in the family and the Church.

EP 72 - Q&A With Fr. Larry Richards - The Reason For Our Hope Foundation

Brothers, what if the quiet guy in the Bible could teach you how to master temptation and tackle life’s toughest hits? Welcome back to The Manly Catholic for another Lenten deep dive into St. Joseph, this time with Patrick O’Hearn—author and past guest from Episode 112. Today, we’re zeroing in on two game-changers: Joseph’s ironclad purity and his knack for enduring suffering. If you’re ready to stop folding to the world’s lies and start fighting like a saint, hit play and let’s get to it.Patrick drops some heavy truth here. He calls St. Joseph a "martyr of purity"—married to the most beautiful woman ever, yet living a life of total sacrifice, not possession. That’s strength, guys, not weakness. Then there’s his suffering—scrambling for a home for Mary, feeling outmatched by his holy family, yet never quitting. Sound familiar? We’ve all felt like failures as dads, husbands, or just men trying to keep it together. Joseph shows us purity isn’t just dodging sin—it’s honoring beauty—and suffering’s a forge, not a grave.Your challenge: Pick Your Fight. Two options—purity or perseverance. For purity, guard your heart today—delete social media apps (Instagram, Twitter, whatever’s got you scrolling), pray to St. Joseph when temptation hits, and ditch the smartphone noise. For perseverance, pinpoint one spot you’re struggling—family, work, whatever—and take it to prayer. Journal it, plan one faithful step forward, and lean on Joseph to carry that cross. Optimized for men hungry for holiness, this episode’s your battle plan. Products/References<ul><li>Our Lady of Sorrows (book by Patrick O’Hearn): Check it out and Episode 112.</li><li>St. Joseph Terror of Demons Prayer: Recited here—find it online.</li><li>Memorare to St. Joseph: Closing prayer—look it up for daily use.</li></ul>3 Powerful Quotes<ol><li>"St. Joseph is a martyr of purity… married to the most beautiful woman in the world and he could not consummate his love."</li><li>"Purity is not only possible but is the path to true strength and holiness."</li><li>"Suffering is not meaningless, it is a pathway to holiness."</li></ol>Guard your heart now.

From gang life to God’s grace—Alan Diaz’s transformation is nothing short of miraculous. In this gripping episode of Heroic Stories, Alan shares his journey from the dark streets of New York, where violence and survival ruled his days, to a life of faith, purpose, and true Brotherhood in Christ. He opens up about the pain of abandonment, the false promises of gang loyalty, and the moment he cried out to God for a way out. A chance encounter, the love of a good woman, and an unexpected blessing set him on a path to redemption. Now, Alan is a devoted husband, father, and leader in his community, using his testimony to reach the next generation. This is a story of struggle, faith, and the power of real Brotherhood—the kind that lifts men up rather than tears them down.Subscribe free to weekly Heroic Men email: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://stories.heroicmen.org">https://stories.heroicmen.org</a>| ABOUT THIS SHOW |Heroic Stories—the series to strengthen Catholic men with raw stories of heroic grit &amp; faith.

The World Needs YOU To Be A Leader w/ Dr. Dan Schneider

Everyone who tries to do something new has to go through the pain of actually doing it.  Ideas are one thing, inspiration is another, but execution is where things really happen.  And executing on an idea carries with it a burden – the sacrifice of the grind.  Is it possible to stay happy even when toiling?  What happens to a Christian’s joy when they embrace the grind?  And how can we embrace the grind in a way that not only maintains our joy but allows it to expand.

DGT Episode 331 - Embracing The Grind - Secrets To Joyful Leadership Part 4

Twenty-year-old Catholic YouTube strategist Evan Raugust is with the BeatiDudes to unpack his recent solo trip through the Holy Land, including places like Bethlehem’s cave, Nazareth’s streets, Golgotha’s stones, and the peaceful waters of the Sea of Galilee. 
Evan shares how filming on pilgrimage deepened his faith, how he designs thumbnails and stories that reach millions, and why “vanity metrics” must stay in their place. Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein talk community, humility, and the Church’s mission on the “eighth continent”: the internet.
Highlights:
• Holy Land, handheld: Evan traveled solo by bus and foot to film the major sites of Jesus’ life, turning Scripture locations into lived reality.
• Expectation vs. reality: From beach trash along Galilee to Nazareth’s modern demographics, the surprise details made the Gospel feel even more human and immediate.
• Sea of Galilee moment: In loneliness and awe, Evan experienced God’s
protection, seeing Peter’s rescue as present tense, not past.
• Community matters: The comment box brings prayer requests, testimonies, and real relationships, proof the internet is a place for mission, not just a tool.
• Why film elevates memory: Editing forces deep reflection, turning travel into testimony that others can actually enter.
Key Takeaways
• Pilgrimage reframes Scripture as a specific place and time, and that
concreteness strengthens faith.
• Creative discipline (clear hook, visual contrast, tight narrative) is how
beauty meets reach.
• Numbers serve mission; they don’t define worth. Keep virtue ahead of virality.
• The Church’s digital mission works best when creators ask for prayer,
accountability, and community.

How are Christians called to respond to the polarization of our nation? How should we respond to the rioting and looting of stores? How do we navigate the difficult conversations around these things and racism that must be had?&nbsp;

Accepting Who God Made You to Be (Fr. Mike Schmitz) | Ep. 549

Not a deep dive into scripture, but a casual reflection into the works of the Early Church and other powerful Heroes of our faith, like Elijah. Some terms:
"Crucible" (from the Latin, "crux"): A situation of severe trial, or in which different elements interact, leading to the creation of something new (Source: lexico.com: <a href="https://www.lexico.com/definition/crucible" target="_blank">https://www.lexico.com/definition/crucible</a>).

Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel: "St. Michael, the Archangel, defend us in this day of battle; be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the Devil. May God rebuke him and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host--by the Power of God--cast into Hell Satan and all evil spirits who prowl throughout the world seeking the ruin of Souls. Amen."

Most of us spend most of our time working.  And yet most of us have a hard time linking what we do when we work to the most important of tasks – namely, our relationship with God.  In this series I want to explore the deep foundations of the work that we do and its link to our spirituality.

DGT Episode 26 - Laborem Exercens - The Spirituality Of Work Part 6

What happens when two intentional grandparents turn a simple
idea into a decades-long family tradition? 
Meet Michael Green, 80 years young, who, with his bride
Rosemary, built “Grandma &amp; Grandpa Camp,” a week of fun, formation, and cousin-to-cousin friendship that’s changed their entire family culture. From “I Wear Pink for Grandma” (a breast-cancer-survivor moment that will hit you right in the heart) to “non-negotiables” like high tea in a tux, outdoor movie night, and murder-mystery dinners, Michael shows the BeatiDudes how ordinary time, shared faithfully, becomes extraordinary grace. Along the way, we talk faith, Eucharistic reverence, Fulton Sheen, and why the rule “No Parents Allowed” might be the secret sauce to stronger generational bonds.
Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein learn all about how to run a successful Grandma &amp; Grandpa Camp.

No Parents Allowed | Michael Greene | Episode #257

An engaged and loving father has a direct effect on the morality of his son or daughter. A father’s love impresses upon his child that he or she is beloved. The child will grow in confidence as they are loved and will more easily be able to bring love into his or her relationships, and ultimately the world. When a father’s love is not imparted, history has shown that there are devastating consequences.

Ep 13: Mind-Blowing Statistics: How Fatherhood Absence Affects Our World

Converting to Catholocism is not easy. It's not easy spiritualy, emotionally, socially, or practically speaking. But it was an even tougher journey for today's guests, Clay and Cat Dimick. &nbsp;&nbsp;
This young married couple had an incredible journey home to the Catholic Church. They dealt with pushback from family, self-doubt, and struggles with Catholic teaching. &nbsp;&nbsp;
Their boldness in faith and commitment to excellence is absolutely awe-inspiring.&nbsp;

Episode 22 “Terror of Demons” features Fr.

Terror of Demons w/ Fr. Donald Calloway

Bruce Lee once famously quipped that in order to win in martial arts you had to be like water.  Willing to find any crack, any way and being irresistible in your motion forward.  We see the same thing in the life of St. Peter and we see the same thing in the life of every successful business leader.  Let’s look at how this applies at our spirituality today.

Stop complaining!! Nobody wants to hear it and it&#39;s not good for your soul! 
 
But seriously, we need a reality check. We ought to be grateful for the things we GET to do, rather than constantly complaining about all the things we HAVE to do.

Ep 239 | The Best Christians Don't Complain

This is another one of our most popular episodes from 2023! Father Vincent Lampert, the exorcist of the Archdiocese of Indianapolis, discusses various topics related to the reality of the devil and spiritual warfare. He shares his background as an exorcist and the process of discerning and preparing for exorcisms. Father Lampert also addresses the rise in demonic activity and the fascination with the occult. He emphasizes the importance of confession and the power of fathers in leading their families in spiritual warfare. Father Lampert provides practical tips for combating the demonic and encourages individuals to seek help from their parish priests. He concludes by highlighting the role of exorcism in evangelization. In this conversation, Father Lampert discusses the topic of exorcism and provides insights into the role of the Church in dealing with possession. He explains the process of discerning possession and the steps involved in performing an exorcism. Father Lampert also emphasizes the power of prayer in combating evil forces. Takeaways <ul><li>Confession is a powerful weapon against the devil and should be a regular practice for spiritual warfare.</li><li>Fathers play a crucial role in leading their families in spiritual warfare and should prioritize their own spiritual growth.</li><li>Seeking help from a parish priest is the first step in discerning and addressing demonic activity.</li><li>The focus of spiritual warfare should be on God and His power, rather than on the devil.

Ep 106 - The Devil is Real and Why We Should Not Fear Him with Fr. Lampert

Ohhhhh boy! You have been waiting for the day and here it is! Father Dom and James had the privilege and honor of interviewing the one and only Jesse Romero on the podcast and boy, did he not disappoint! For those of you who don't know Jesse, I am just going to drop a quote from his website: “If your parish suffers from low energy, call me, I can jump start it. I’m a full Gospel, Bible Believing, Born Again, Spirit Filled, Evangelical, Orthodox Catholic Christian, washed and empowered by the blood of Jesus.  With a Bible in one hand, with a rosary in my other hand and with Jesus in my heart, you will hear the fullness of the Catholic faith in an evangelical style with devil destroying theology.” To say Jesse is energetic and passionate is an understatement. He brought the fire and hammer down during the podcast and you will not want to miss it.

Ep 53 | Do you have what it takes?

What’s missing when most Catholic's practice the faith? Care. Love begins with caring, and community begins with accompaniment. In this episode, John challenges us to stop going through the motions and start answering the call to care—for real people, in real tangible ways. 

If you’ve ever felt unwanted—or if you’ve found yourself missing out on meaningful relationships because of work or technology—this one’s for you.

A native of Spain, young Jesuit Peter Claver left his homeland forever in 1610 to be a missionary in the colonies of the New World. He sailed into Cartagena, a rich port city washed by the Caribbean. He was ordained there in 1615. Deacon Harold breaks open more on St. Peter today. Also looking into Soulful Psalm 31:20 & 21

Saint Peter Claver

Today Deacon Harold looks into our reflections when we go to Mass

Reflections on the Mass

Today we share the second half of Bishop Barron's 2020 address at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, titled "Called Into the Depths." He discussed three sailors from the Bible: the patriarch Noah, the prophet Jonah, and our Savior Jesus Christ. The sea can be thought of as something frightening and terrifying, standing athwart the purposes of God with its unforgiving power and discouraging darkness. However, when we allow ourselves to be swallowed up by the Lord's will, we will find a peace that is sure and unshakable, even in the midst of the worst storms.

Today, we talk about 7 points that are necessary to have beneficial communication with your wife on this issue. Most couples find this topic challenging to have, and since great marriages do not happen by accident, we want to provide you with tools to make this area of your marriage a place to grow in love and holiness.

How to Discuss Sex with Your Wife

Global executive and Scouting America leader Sean Magennis joins the tiny table to share how a life of worldwide leadership, deep friendship, and renewed faith has led him right back to serving young people. 
Hosts Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein walk with Sean through his years activating communities around the globe through YPO and Tiger 21, his time living and worshiping in places like Dubai, India, and Singapore, and his powerful experiences of the Church in many languages and cultures. Along the way, Sean reflects on the legacy of his late friend Rick Sapio, the grace of standing at his funeral and graveside, and how faith can remain an anchor even when our certainties and perspectives shift over time.
Now serving as an executive at Scouting America, Sean explains why he believes scouting is one of the most important youth movements in the world, especially because it keeps God at the center of its mission. He shares how the Scout Oath, the EDGE method of learning, and the wood badge formation are shaping kids into articulate, grounded leaders who know how to serve, collaborate, and persevere. 
From multicultural outreach and trades training to Pinewood Derby dreams and alumni reengagement, Sean invites listeners to see scouting as a powerful way to invest in the next generation while staying rooted in Catholic faith, authentic fraternity, and a sense of joyful adventure.

Fatima, Portugal is site of greatest event in Church history. In last of 6 apparitions, the 1917 Miracle of the Sun was of Biblical measure.

WONDERS OF FATIMA

We all know that Catholic dating is a trip. Many have diagnosed a wide range of different problems that have caused this fairly large population of discouraged and jaded young adult Catholics who sincerely want to get married but have not been able to find a spouse just yet. 
There have been a number of societal forces at play when it comes to the relationships between men and women. In today&#39;s episode, I assess those forces as I&#39;ve seen them from my perspective.

How Men and Women Differ in Unselfishness | Part 26 | Lent 2024

Ladies and gentlemen, he is back! Fr. Dom is back in the saddle. This conversation explores a large variety of topics as we take some questions from some of our listeners. From addiction to mortal sin versus venial sins, we emphasize the importance of being vicious and fighting against addiction, especially in the context of pornography and masturbation. The role of confession and the sacraments in overcoming sin is highlighted, as well as the need for accountability and support. The conversation also touches on the importance of filling one's time with virtuous activities and seeking the guidance of the Holy Spirit. We also discuss the importance of being in a state of grace to receive the Eucharist, the concept of righteous anger, the role of men in fighting against societal issues, the power of the mind, and so much more! Takeaways<ol><li>Confession is essential for those struggling with addiction, as it provides the grace needed to overcome sin.</li><li>Mortal sin requires full knowledge and deliberate consent, while venial sin is a less serious violation of God's law.</li><li>It is important to be vicious and fight against sin, not allowing it to define who we are.</li><li>Filling one's time with virtuous activities and seeking the guidance of the Holy Spirit can help in overcoming addiction and sin. Being in a state of grace is essential to receive the Eucharist</li><li>Righteous anger can be a positive force when tempered with virtue</li><li>Men have a crucial role in fighting against societal issues and need to be virtuous</li><li>The mind is a powerful tool that should be filled with virtuous thoughts</li><li>Men should seek the sacraments, particularly through spending time in adoration</li><li>Prudence is a vital virtue to ask for in prayer</li></ol>Food for Thought<ul><li>"You have to be a monster, you have to be vicious, you have to be a dangerous man"</li><li>"If you're not in a state of grace, don't receive the Eucharist."</li><li>"There's nothing wrong with righteous anger."</li><li>"Imagine if all men had righteous anger, there'd be no more abortion, there'd be no more divorce, there'd be no more contraception or human trafficking."</li></ul>Please prayerfully consider supporting the podcast on our <a href="https://www.patreon.com/themanlycatholic?fan_landing=true" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Patreon</a> page. to help grow the show to reach as many men as possible!

How To Define Success And Ensure You Achieve It

Lust: Turning a Generation into Zombies w/ Steve Pokorny: Alanis, Jack, Jimmy, and Ryan engage in a challenging and essential conversation with Steve Pokorny, founder of Freedom Coaching, a one-to-one mentoring system dedicated to helping and healing those with an attraction and compulsion to pornography. The group talks about the individual and societal repercussions of pornography; the history of how body objectification came about; pornography’s role in fostering same-sex attraction; and how Christian parents can initiate healthy conversations with their young children in order to develop a proper view of the human person from a Scriptural perspective (drawing on Pope St. John Paul II’s Theology of the Body). -- About Steve PokornySteve Pokorny founded Freedom Coaching in 2011, in response to a personal experience of healing. Like many men, Steve was exposed to pornography at a young age and struggled with pornography compulsion for many years before encountering freedom. Through Freedom Coaching, Steve now offers that same freedom to others.Steve holds an MA in theology and a specialization in catechetics from Franciscan University of Steubenville, as well as an MTS from the Pontifical John Paul II Institute for Studies on Marriage and Family in Washington D.C. Steve is a Certified Life Coach from the Life Coach Training Institute, author of Redeemed Vision: Setting the Blind Freed from the Pornified Culture, and internationally-known speaker. He and his family live in San Antonio, Texas.-- Resources from Steve Pokorny<a href="https://freedom-coaching.net/">freedom-coaching.net</a>Freedom Coaching is a one-to-one mentoring system dedicated to helping those with an attraction and compulsion to pornography. Freedom Coaching’s mentoring system and program helps its participants reclaim a healthy vision of the body and of sexuality, freeing them from the attraction and enticement of pornographic images.Freedom Coaching utilizes what they call, “vision coaching.” Throughout the coaching process, participants regain a new sense of vision, allowing them to see all of humanity with a pure, holy, and loving lens.-- Visit our website:<a href="https://arrayofhope.org/">https://arrayofhope.org/</a> Sign up for FREE on the Array of Hope Channel app:<a href="https://watch.arrayofhope.net/">https://watch.arrayofhope.net/</a>Available on Apple TV, Roku, iOS, and Android mobile devices.

A Tapestry of Pivonka

The two guarentees in life are death and taxes. Maybe not today, but death is out there, real and heavy. Who’s in your corner when the end closes in? St. Joseph, Patron of the Dying, the guy who died with Jesus and Mary at his side, offering you a happy death if you lean on him. In this Lenten Reflection, we tackle the unavoidable head-on. Joseph’s not just a saint for the cozy moments but he is the steady hand turning fear into peace. St. Alphonsus Liguori and Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich back it up: he left this world surrounded by holiness, showing us how to die in God’s grace. Our culture dodges death; Joseph embraces it, teaching us to live better by facing it. Your challenge: take one minute today. Reflect on your death: who is there, and what matters? It’s not about more shifts or cash but about relationships with God and family. Hit play, grab your coffee, and let’s stare down the end with St. Joseph’s grit.Keywords: St. Joseph, Catholic men, Patron of the Dying, Lent reflection, memento mori, death, faith, Manly Catholic podcast  Products/References:  <ul><li>Catechism: Paragraph 1014  </li><li>Book: The Comfort Crisis by Michael Easter  </li><li>Tradition: St. Alphonsus Liguori, Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich (Life of the Blessed Virgin Mary)  </li><li>Contact: themanlycatholic@gmail.com  </li></ul>Powerful Quotes:  <ol><li>“When we reflect on death more and more throughout our day... it changes how we behave in the here and the now.”  </li><li>“St. Joseph is the patron of the dying because he gets the struggle... he’s that man to go to for a happy death.”  </li><li>“At the end of the day, that’s all that matters—our relationship first and foremost with God... and then with the people that God entrusted to us.”</li></ol>Key Takeaway: Take one minute today to think about your death—what you’d regret, who you’d want near.

Ep 33 | The Feminine Genius w/ Emily Harpole

Ryan and James discuss on this episode the Synod on Synodality listening sessions, specifically here at St. Roberts in Ada. According to the USCCB website, the Synod on Synodality: <ul><li>The Synod on Synodality is a two-year process of listening and dialogue beginning with a solemn opening in Rome on October 9 and 10, 2021 with each individual diocese and church celebrating the following week on October 17. The synodal process will conclude in 2023. Pope Francis invites the entire Church to reflect on a theme that is decisive for its life and mission: “It is precisely this path of synodality which God expects of the Church of the third millennium.” This journey, which follows in the wake of the Church’s “renewal” proposed by the Second Vatican Council, is both a gift and a task: by journeying together and reflecting together on the journey that has been made, the Church will be able to learn through Her experience which processes can help Her to live communion, to achieve participation, to open Herself to mission.</li></ul>In short, the Church is inviting lay people to give their input on how the Church can improve in various aspects. In this episode, Ryan and James specifically talk about the topics relating to listening and dialogue in the Church and society and engaging more families. Remember men, our priests, bishops, and the Pope have to answer to Christ, not us.  James' Challenge: Pray specifically for the Holy Spirit to come and guide you every day this week.

From the 3rd Sunday in Easter, Fr. Dom discusses the importance of the Holy Trinity in our lives and how it can transform us to becoming kind, loving, courageous, and brave. It emphasizes the power and dynamite we receive from the Holy Spirit to fulfill our mission of kindness and love. This homily also highlights the examples of the early Christians in the Acts of the Apostles, who were bold and courageous in proclaiming Jesus despite persecution. The readings from Acts of the Apostles serve as a guide for modern Catholics on how to live and act in the world. Fr. Dom's homily concludes with a reminder of the peace and joy we can experience through recognizing Jesus in the breaking of the bread.

To Love is to Give Oneself w/ Gus Lloyd

Without a doubt leadership requires us to engage other people.  Whether it be in networking for new partnerships or interviewing new employees, we live an active life.  For many Christians this is problematic.  We can sometimes feel that being a leader and being active means that we can’t be as contemplative and prayerful as we should be.  In this lesson of leadership coming from St. Thomas Aquinas I lead you in a study of his treatise on the life of Christ to glean insights there.

Two Boomers Complaining About The World (Trent Horn) Ep. 565

Men, do you ever feel like your faith and career are worlds apart? What if succeeding in business could actually lead you to sainthood? In this episode of The Manly Catholic, I talk with Joe Valentic, Catholic entrepreneur and author, about blending professional ambition with spiritual growth. Joe shares his journey from cradle Catholic to faith-integrated leader, revealing how saints like St. Josemaria Escriva inspired him to view work as a path to holiness. We explore practical ways to invite God into your daily grind, from strategic prayer to discerning your gifts. As men called to lead, Joe challenges you to pray a 54-day novena to St. Raphael the Archangel for business discernment—starting today, even if you're unsure what to ask. Whether you're an executive, entrepreneur, or blue-collar worker, this conversation equips you to build success that honors God, strengthens your family, and advances the Church. Hit play to transform how you approach work and faith.

Ep 164 - Faith-Fueled Business: Become a Saint While Crushing It at Work with Joseph Valentic

He was a tight end and long snapper who was drafted by the NFL's Buffalo Bills and went on to play for them, the New York Giants, and the Pittsburgh Steelers. He had played his college football at Notre Dame, where he was captain in his senior year, when the Fighting Irish played in the BCS Fiesta Bowl Game. After college he played in the Hula Bowl, all of which followed a high school football career that saw him play on three state championship teams, two of which were national championships. As a senior he was rated the #1 tight end in the country.

The Church has the most important mission on the planet, "Go, therefore and make disciples of all nations" (Matt. 28:18). The Family is the most important institution in the history of humanity, "The future of the world and the Church passes through the family" (Saint John Paul II).

Leadership Where It Matters Most w/ Brett Powell

Men, the battle is here. We run it back with our Exodus episode with Dr. Jared Staudt when we talked about St. Michael's Lent. While St. Michael's Lent has ended, a new beginning is coming on January 5th, 2026 with the main Exodus challenge. Make sure you sign up today before you miss out!Your marching orders have arrived. We dive deep into the origins and spiritual power of St. Michael’s Lent, a 40-day Catholic challenge inspired by the great St. Francis of Assisi and rooted in ancient tradition. Learn why this penitential season is critical for men today, how the Exodus 90 team has structured it for modern warriors, and why discipline, order, and sacrifice are the weapons we need now more than ever.You’ll learn the why behind each discipline and how each is crafted to bring order to your soul, sharpen your spiritual edge, and strengthen your mission as a man of God.We discuss:<ul><li>The spiritual and psychological warfare men face today</li><li>The demonic hatred of order and how discipline drives demons out</li><li>The role of St. Michael the Archangel in exorcisms and daily spiritual combat</li><li>Why rest, leisure, and celebrating the Lord’s Day are battle strategies, not indulgences</li><li>How true fraternity unlocks spiritual breakthroughs men cannot achieve alone</li></ul>Challenge Issued in this Episode: Step into the breach. Find a fraternity. Get the app. Sign up for St. Michael’s Lent. Offer your disciplines for your family. Wake up at 2 a.m. and pray like the Desert Fathers. Let your body rest and your soul fight. The Church needs men who are ready. Are you one of them?Three Powerful Quotes from the Episode:<ol><li>“When you wake up in the night and everyone else is asleep, you're not breaking off from work or putting your phone down — you're just entering right into prayer.”</li><li>“We're not called to suffer pointlessly. Every act of self-denial must have a purpose — for God, for your wife, for your children, for your brothers.”</li><li>“Saint Michael didn’t negotiate with evil. He cast it out. Men today need that same fire in their hearts.”</li></ol>Featured Resources &amp; Products:<ul><li>Exodus 90 App – <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://exodus90.com" target="_blank">https://exodus90.com</a> --&gt; SIGN UP TODAY!</li><li>Books by Dr. Jared Staudt:<ul><li>How the Eucharist Can Save Civilization</li><li>The Primacy of God</li><li>Words Made Flesh</li></ul></li></ul>Follow Exodus 90 on all social media platforms <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://linktr.ee/exodus90" target="_blank">here</a>

Ep 182 - Cold Showers and Holy Hours: Exodus 90 with Dr. Jared Staudt

The Council and earlier Liturgical Movement intended something very different from what the “new view” had in mind.  Deacon Harold breaks that down today answering the question "Did the Mass Fail After Vatican II?" and looking into Soulful Psalm 105.

Did the Mass Fail After Vatican II?

Confession...another hot button issue that a lot of people simply don't understand. "Why can't I just confess my sins to God?" Or "why do I have to tell my sins to an old priest?" Confession is a gift God has graciously given us yet most of us, even amongst Catholics, don't fully understand or embrace. Confession is for healing. Confession restores our place with God. Confession saves our souls. Growing up Protestant, I (James), frequently asked what the point of confessing to a priest when God was simply always right there, ready to hear how sorry I was. It wasn't until I became Catholic that many sins I struggled with throughout my life were healed from this precious gift.  Continue to listen to part one to hear why confession was instituted by Jesus Christ, why he gave the power to forgive sins to the Apostles, and why we should make this a frequent part of our lives.  Thank you to our partners at Hallow!

Our Lord says, “If anyone wishes to be first, he shall be the last of all and the servant of all.”  Humility doesn’t mean having low self-esteem, or being overly pious or holy because true humility isn’t about us.  Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it’s thinking of yourself less. Deacon Harold looks at Mark 9:30-37 to talk about humility as well as Soulful Psalm 39.
